Every day, I make a list.
I start with 5 things that are good. Things that are good in my life, things that are good in general, or good things that've happened. Pretty much, any five things that are positive for me. :)
Then I list 5 things that I'm looking forward to. Even if today isn't going well, there are things in the future that I'm going to be happy about, and will be good things. :)
And then I write a little positive message to myself with whatever space I have left on my page.
1. My boyfriend, because he is sweet and thoughtful. He always makes me smile. :)
2. Chocolate ice cream, dipped in butterscotch, with crunch (they added sprinkles at the DairyQueen without me asking, which was a nice surprise ^_^), because it's really delicious
3. Watching a movie with my mom, because we get to laugh together
4. When it's sunny out; it makes me just feel better
5. Animal Crossing New Leaf: I play it almost every day, and it's nice to have some little animal friends to go hang out with from time to time ^_^
Things that I'm looking forward to:
1. Tomorrow, because I have plans to go out and about, and it should be a good time ^_^
2. Getting done with college, and getting to move back home
3. Finishing an alphabet book that I'm drawing pictures for :)
4. Sunday, because I've got a movie date at my house, and we're going to watch a fairy movie XD
5. Baking cookies; I've been meaning to do it for awhile, but when I do, I'll have delicious sugar cookies XD
I have people who love me. :)
And things will always get better. ^_^
Feel free to copy my example, and think about the things that are positive in your life. I think sometimes, we don't think about all the good things we have, and it's a shame. Life is good. :)
